This reminds of that game in ‘06, similar play, the runner tried to take out Joh, and Joh gave him the stare-down of death after he held on for the out. I can’t remember who it was although.
Does any one know if there is any defensive matrix that takes into account extrabase prevention due to outfielder’s arm? For example, the respect to Ichiro’s arm from the runners sometimes makes a 2B hit only a 1B. Is this considered in Ichiro’s defensive value?
Good God that delivery almost makes him look like a pitcher.

We do need a good #4...

No way. Do you see the way he loads his scapula in a dangling forearm position?
Guaranteed injury. Mark it down. This is science.

I thoroughly enjoyed this fancomment and as such will award it with a recommendation.
BrianL - September 15, 2008
My, that's huge
JI - September 15, 2008
Deserved
Jeff Sullivan - September 15, 2008
Agreed.
BrianL - September 15, 2008
It won't move unless it open it in a new window
JI - September 15, 2008
That's weird
I’ll try to fix this somehow.
Jeff Sullivan - September 15, 2008
It deserves its own window.
BIGGER!!
Wilder. - September 15, 2008
Fixed?
Jeff Sullivan - September 15, 2008
Yes
JI - September 15, 2008
It's twue, it's twue!
BrianL - September 15, 2008
Ichirolls for everyone!!
That’s not a pun, by the way.
.Taylor - September 15, 2008
NO FUCKING WAY!!!!
I am sad to have missed this game just for that single play.
If that is not the web gem of the year, BBTN can suck my dick. This is better than Ichiro’s throw to gun down Terrence Long.
Wilder. - September 15, 2008
BBTN's commentators did a Hawk impression the other day.
Just putting that out there.
Crystal for DH - September 16, 2008
You mean the "You can put it on the boooooooard..... YES!" impression
or the always grammar-less “He gone” impression?
Because BBTN does both of those all of time and I can’t stand is.

God what a prima donna
If Ichiro were really a team player he would have relayed that to the second baseman. TRADE HIM NOW!!!!!!

I still can't stop watching this
Jeff Sullivan - September 16, 2008
It really makes me remember why I like baseball.
pdb - September 16, 2008
It's good to be reminded at this point.
Kirsten Schlewitz - September 16, 2008
It pisses me off that I need to be reminded.
stupid effing Mariners.
pdb - September 16, 2008
This and the K-Rod getting struck by lightning are two of the most addicting .gifs ever.
Wilder. - September 16, 2008
AO's impossible goal is #1 for me.
Graham MacAree - September 16, 2008
I love the twenty or so frames of the ball sailing past empty seats in the middle of that gif

Extrabase prevention and defensive matrix
Does any one know if there is any defensive matrix that takes into account extrabase prevention due to outfielder’s arm? For example, the respect to Ichiro’s arm from the runners sometimes makes a 2B hit only a 1B. Is this considered in Ichiro’s defensive value?
Unrelated to this, here is a funny video of Ichiro:
